clean "swipe" lockscreen with pattern-lock beneath it? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Alright, before i had restored and flashed goldeneye 4.3 rom, i was rooted 4.2.2 stock. i had it set so that my phone wouldnt technically lock (via the pattern lock) until 5 min after the phone was idle. thus if i were to let my screen sleep, or tap the power button my phone would unlock through the unsecured swipe method within that 5 min window. ...
now since i flashed 4.3 goldeneye im not sure if its me or the rom but i cant duplicate however i enabled that feature before:silly:
ive tried playing with settings>display>screen timeout, but upon hitting the home, itll just bring up the screen from where it was rather going to its default "swipe" lockscreen. Im also running "gotya!" security app, and i want to have the pattern lock enabled for that reason. any ideas or recommendations? i really enjoy hitting my home button and seeing a clean lockscreen picture but then having the security beneath it:good:

Assuming your on stock 4.2.2 TW it should be Settings --> My Device --> Lock Screen --> Secured Lock Time
If your on a custom ROM it should be in Settings --> Lock Screen --> Secured Lock Time
I imagine yours is currently set to "Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out" if you move it to 5 minutes it should do what I understand your wanting. The phone will lock with a pattern after 5 minutes of inactivity, but will unlock by a general swipe if used before that threshold is passed.

heres what ive tried and all my rom enables, settings--screen lock/pattern-- "lock automatically--1 minute
with this setting i used to be able to lock with the power key, and if i would then wake the screen, within that 1 min window, 4.2.2 would prompt me to the nice simple unsecured swipe lockscreen. but now 4.3 will instantly "pattern lock" it....and lets say i uncheck that "lock instantly with power key" box, ill sleep the screen w the power key, go to wake it and itll open up right to where i left it bypassing any lockscreen or swipelock

Better yet, can we do it for not just patter but even with a passcode.
When you want to have work email most companies want to have Administrative policies enabled forcing use to at least have a pin for security.
Any way even with a AOSP or new TW 4.3 custom roms we could without creating a passcode I think a pattern would be enough.

Odd, I don't know how to help any further then what I posted above. Hopefully someone else can solve your problem. Best of luck! I'm curious myself now.

figured its the rom, im using widgetlocker now, and completely removed all its icons and enabled "back button unlock" feature while keeping the stock pattern lock behind it. same concept but im running an app to compensate

Awesome, glad you where able to get it to work!

I think I just found a security bug

I'm using the Villain 1.4 ROM so curious if this happens on the stock rom too?
Basically I have the pin lock enabled but when on the pin screen if I double tap the home button it tries to take me into the voice command app, as I have never used it it presented me with the Samsung Disclaimer with a Next and Previous button at the bottom, I pressed Previous and it took me to my home screen totally bypassing the screen lock...anyone else get this?
Not happening on stock ROM.
Had you already accepted the disclaimer before? Im wondering if its related to that, once accepted it doesnt show the disclaimer and so the pin bypass cant happen.
Or does the stock rom not even start the voice app when you double tap home on the pin lock screen?
Voice app didn't start. Just shows the pin security screen.
I just try to do this on my phone (villian rom 1.4), but it didnt work it just stayed on the lock screen

[Q] Disable swipe lock, even when using another lock screen?

I use the PIN lock security. When I turn off the option "Power button instantly locks", and when I power on and off my device within the "Security lock timer" interval, the swipe to unlock screen is presented.
"Power button instantly locks", when I disable that, I don't want ANY LOCK SCREEN until I'm past the "Security timer interval."
Can someone please help? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this. I'm on the latest Verizon stock, rooted, with a few mods.
Many kind thanks.

Slide to Unlock plus Pin security

I just bought the Droid Turbo and I encrypted my phone with a PIN. Now when my phone is in between the screen off and the 5 minute lock time for the pin access, if you press the power button it automatically goes to the home screen. On my 5 other Android phones in between the screen off and the PIN lock out time if you press the power button you still have to slide to unlock. Is there any way to get this back? Or a 3rd party app that will let me do this without disabling the security PIN? I have tried several KitKat and Lollipop lock screen apps but they all remove the pin lock security. I do have the Tasker app but i am unsure how to set this option up. Thanks for any help. If I need to explain the issue better let me know.

I don't think it is available that way with Moto Display. On my Moto X 2013 it doesn't do that either. Because there is a slide unlock on the Moto/Active Display when there are notifications or when the device moves, you slide there to either get the notification or go to the home screen.

I like that feature however, if I press the power button it goes straight to the home screen without sliding to unlock. I dont like that. I want to have to slide to unlock even if I press the power button.

You would probably need a 3rd party lock screen to do that, but I think you'd then always swipe to PIN, after that 5 minutes passed. You can only select one lock screen type on Moto X, so it is either slide OR PIN/Password, but you can't have both. I know what you're referring to, I had it on my Droid X and Droid Razr Maxx, but the only way to turn those on was with the power button. Because the newer Moto phones have Active/Moto Display, I think it works as the slide unlock.
I can say that over time you will use the power button less and less, because you will get used to the Active Display. It's a hard habit to shake, but you'll actually find yourself turning your phone on less to check notifications. On my Moto X I pick it up and see there is a notification (or see it "breathing" an unread notification) and if I press and hold on the circled notification I can see the details. So I can see what the text is, who the email is from, what the tweet is, etc and if I don't care to unlock and view I can swipe left/right to clear it without every actually turning the screen on or unlocking the phone.
If you control the apps that are able to show on Active Display and only places ones you really care about, you'll turn your phone on even less and only for the things you feel are important.
Tasker to add slide to unlock with PIN
I have this reference to use Tasker to do what I want but, I dont understand it. here is the link to the post.

I use Tasker and Secure Settings to set/remove my PIN based on my home WIFI connection (it turns PIN off when I'm at home).
Setup your profile with Tasker first, then create an action and select Plugins (or 3rd party, I forget), and select Secure Settings. You'll have a big list of options, Keyguard is under Actions and Password/PIN is under Dev Admin actions. You'll need to enable Secure Settings as a device administrator in your phone settings.
You will probably need to have a profile that sets keyguard when the screen shuts off and waits 5 minutes, then disables keyguard and turns on PIN/Password lock. Then another profile that resets the status to recycle it once you unlock the phone.
Can you post the step by step instructions. I have never used Tasker before and I am completely lost.

There's an option to Lock Immediately on Power or something. In security settings. Or just reduce your time out.

Installed Good Lock now my phone no longer locks

I installed Good Luck and now my phone no longer locks. I can just press the home button and it takes me straight to my home screen without having to unlock the phone. I don't have any smart lock features enabled.
Good lock didn't change the locking on my phone. Have you gone into settings to see what your security settings are?

Make sure you adjust the screen lock time, it defaults to 10 minutes.

How to bypass lock screen when trusted with smart lock?

Is there a way to bypass the lock screen when using smart lock when trusted? What I want to do is double top on the AOD screen which then takes me directly to the home screen and NOT the lock screen where I have to swipe in again. Any ideas?
I have also been looking for a solution to this. While I have not been able to completely bypass the lock screen here is a workaround which minimizes when the lock screen appears.
Settings --> Lock screen --> Secure lock settings --> Lock automatically I increased the time from 5 seconds to 30 Minutes (which is the maximum value)
When away from my trusted places I use the power button which locks my phone immediately based on the 'Lock instantly with power key' setting
Hope this helps
I used Gravity Screen for this purpose a few years ago. I don't know if it works with this phone but you can try it out.
I also is able to turn on your screen as soon as you pick it up. And bypass your lockscreen ofc.
